lüll Central nervous system metastases in HER-2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer: a treatment challenge Stemmler HJ; Heinemann VOncologist 2008[Jul]; 13 (7): 739-50With improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic options and a corresponding improvement in survival, central nervous system (CNS) metastasis is becoming a more frequent diagnosis in breast cancer patients. It can be assumed that up to 30% of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients may experience CNS metastasis during the course of their disease. Moreover, it has been reported that patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-overexpressing MBC are at a higher risk for CNS involvement. Whereas locoregional treatment modalities such as surgery, radiosurgery, and whole-brain radiotherapy still must be considered as the treatment of first choice, the armamentarium of systemic treatment modalities has been expanded by the introduction of small molecules such as the tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Rather than analyzing the risk factors for the development of CNS metastasis and reviewing the standard diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in patients with CNS involvement, this review focuses specifically on systemic treatment modalities in patients suffering from CNS metastasis from HER-2-overexpressing MBC.|Adult[MESH]|Antibodies, Monoclonal/therapeutic use[MESH]|Blood-Brain Barrier[MESH]|Brain/surgery[MESH]|Breast Neoplasms/*metabolism/*pathology[MESH]|Central Nervous System Neoplasms/*secondary/*therapy[MESH]|Chemotherapy, Adjuvant[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunologic Factors/therapeutic use[MESH]|Radiotherapy, Adjuvant[MESH]|Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic[MESH]|Receptor, ErbB-2/*metabolism[MESH] |
